HUNGARY: New Editor Named
//At a meeting of the party Central Committee last
week, e ungarian Communists appointed the leadership's ide-
ologue, Dezso Nemes, editor in chief of the party daily. The

move appears to be a Hungarian response to Soviet concerns
about the ideological chaZZenges posed by Eurocommunism and to
the need to launch a propaganda counteroffensive against the
US emphasis on human rights.//
//Nemes does not have much political clout, but
e is regarded by liberals in the Hungarian party as one of
the most conservative and dogmatic members of the leadership.
This does not necessarily mean that he is pro-Soviet. Nemes
played a prominent role at the World Communist Party Confer-
ence in 1969, when he argued forcefully and, according to one
Hungarian, liberal, "bravely" with Soviet party secretary
Ponomarev.//
Nemes succeeds Istvan Katona, one-time speechwriter
tor party leader Kadar. Katona may again directly assist Kadar.
//The symbolism of Nemes' appointment will not be
lost on Hungarian liberals and dissidents or on the USSR. This
will be especially true since Gyorgy Aczel, a pragmatist in
cultural affairs who was rumored to be in line for promotion
at the plenum, did not get a new job.//
The communique from the party meeting did not dwell
,
however, on ideological themes. It showed a cautious optimism
about prospects for the meeting in Belgrade that will review
the results of the European security conference, and did not
specifically m US statements on human rights.
ZAIRE: Situation Report
Fighting was reported late last week near Zairian
forward positions at Kanzenze and Nasondoye. Zairian units
sustained several casualties but apparently were able to
evacuate their wounded in an organized manner. Katangan forces
apparently are now within 40 kilometers of Kolwezi, one of their
chief objectives.

cording to the US embassy in Kinshasa, Moroccan com-
manders at first a ed at committing troops so soon after their
arrival but were convinced to send nearly a battalion to Kanzenze.
We have no indication that Moroccans have yet been involved in
the fighting.
I IScattered fighting was also reported in the West
Kasai region near the border with Shaba. The US embassy reports
that the,Zairian air force has moved four ground attack aircraft
to Kananga, the region's major town.
